... involves integers and their properties • If a and b are integers with a≠0, we say that a divides b if there is an integer c s.t. b=ac • When a divides b we say that a is a factor of b and that b is a multiple of a • The notation a | b denotes a divides b. We write a ∤ b when does not divide b ...

Simplifying Expressions with Real Numbers
... The terms of the expression are separated by addition. There are 3 terms in this example and they are 5x 2 , x , 7 . The coefficient of a variable term is the real number factor. The first term has coefficient of 5. The second term has an unwritten coefficient of 1. The last term , -7, is called a ...
